His being Swedish has nothing to do with the way I don't particularly rate Andersson.Quote:

Until you give some evidence to support your idea, yeah, it's probably just going to be you who thinks that way. I don't really see how a picture of Solberg on a pushbike in front of a truck while wearing a pageboy cap is evidence of him going to VW ...Quote:

This was when Ogier drove the Scirocco and there was a lot of VW motorsport brass there.
But I did not say that this is a evidence of him going to VW.
OK to those who mix up facts with unnecessary matters. My point is on real facts that no one can deny - the fact PG is as fast as the top guys.Quote:

Sordo will be a perfect coice as a team player, fast driver and knowledge in R&D.
And when we thinkin about seat no.2 you have to think that someone can handle Ogier ego! :)
I don't think Ogier really has an ego. I think he left Citroen because he was expected to support Loeb at every turn, to the detriment of his own title bid. That might sound like an ego, but at the time, there was a real possibility that Mikko Hirvonen could have taken the title for himself. I think Ogier was under the impression that losing the drivers' title altogether was better than having a Citroen driver other than Loeb win it. In that case, can you really blame him for feeling betrayed? I would have done the same thing in his position and gotten out as soon as I could.Quote:

Situtaion last year at Citroen is normal we see that at Sbaru time Sainz-McRae. Loeb is the leading role so Ogier dont want to support just go for win.
I would not say that he is as fast as the top guys Loeb, Hirvonen, Latvala, Sordo, Ogier and Solberg. He might be in comparison with Ostberg and the group right behind.Quote:
